Simone Biles and Jordan Chiles put on an epic display of sportsmanship at the Paris Olympics on Monday following their silver and bronze medal-winning performances on the floor exercise.
Brazil's Rebeca Andrade took home the gold medal to cement her return to the Olympics. She suffered three anterior cruciate ligament tears during her career and a victory on the floor exercise was only her second gold medal.

Biles and Chiles decided to pay tribute to the 25-year-old gymnast. Andrade has six Olympic medals in her career.
When the photo of Biles and Chiles bowing to Andrade went viral, Baltimore Ravens star cornerback Marlon Humphrey offered a critical opinion.
“This is literally disgusting,” the three-time Pro Bowler wrote on X.
Humphrey received backlash for his post.
Andrade finished with four medals at the Paris Olympics. She won silver in the eventing and vault competitions. She also won a bronze as part of the team final for Brazil.

“I have a lot of respect for her. She's a great competitor,” Biles said of Andrade on NBC's “Today” show. “She keeps me on my toes. It's an honor to be able to compete with her.”

She gave Biles and the Americans everything she had. Biles finished the Paris Olympics with four medals as well, to finish the Games with 11 in total.
She joked at the press conference that she no longer wanted to compete against Andrade.
“I've never had an athlete this close,” Biles added. “It definitely kept me on my toes and brought out the best in me. So I'm excited and proud to compete with her, but… no.
